While Alcide and Bill battle over Bon Temps’ most eligible fairy — a half-naked Alcide is seen barging into Mr. Compton’s compound in the new trailer, which was released over the weekend — poor Eric is still nowhere to be found.

Speaking of complicated love lives, the new trailer also shows Lafayette putting himself back on the market, and it looks like he snags himself a keeper. (We’re really pulling for him this year; if anyone deserves a happy ending after this, it’s Jesus’ ex-boyfriend.)

Watch the new trailer above, then drop a comment below: Who should Sookie end up with in Season 7?

I’m just going to go sit in the corner and cry because somehow I knew, I just knew, that Sookie/Alcide was not going to be canon for very long. Damn the show for teasing me and then taking it away. *cries*

Aside from the fact that for years the show-runners (both Ball and Buckner) have said that Bill and Sookie are soul-mates, they’ve already pretty much confirmed the series is ending Bill/Sookie, so it really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Sookie and Alcide aren’t meant to be. Honestly, that’s fine with me. Of her suitors, I’ve always preferred Bill/Sookie and besides, I still haven’t forgiven Alcide for trying to get in Sookie’s bed when she was beyond plastered and he was 100% sober.

I’ve always been partial to Bill/Sookie myself. However, it has nothing to do with either Alcide or Eric being better. They’re all mostly crappy and they’ve all done horrible things. My preference is will the Bill/Sookie pairing

Seriously? IMO Anna doesn’t even have chemistry with her husband on screen (again, JMO). I’m sure they are a perfectly lovely couple IRL but Stephen has better chemistry on screen with Alex Skarsgaard than his own wife. I LOVE Stephen and Alex on screen together. They are great!

I personally loved the chemistry Sookie had with Warlow. At least Sookie knew where she stood with him; he didn’t have to trick her. Why she keeps going back to Bill is, IMO, pretty pathetic.

What little time Sookie had being without a man were some of her finest moments and her most healthy relationships have been with her friends and family. She doesn’t need a man.

I agree. The only way I could think of them getting me to root for a Bill redemption story is if they had written in a cure and Bill reverted to being human in the final season. I guess at this point I’ll just have to be happy if she doesn’t end up with Sam.

Urgh! Surely Sookie won’t go back to Bill after all he has done? That would stupid, she would just look weak and silly. They are obviously keeping what happens to Eric under wraps which is all very well, I guess they want to surprise people, but the lack of Eric and the way they are pushing Bill down everyone’s throats doesn’t fill me with confidence that we will get a great final season. Shame.

I preferred Bill/Sookie until everything came out about him gathering intel on her for Sophie Ann and betraying her. Then he turned Billith and at this point he’s irredeemable for me. Certainly don’t want him with Sookie. In terms of safe choices and choosing the guy that loves her and has her best interests at heart, Alcide’s the guy. Really pissed they didn’t show us more of the Alcide/Sookie relationship. And frankly I was excited to see Sookie have a love interest outside of vampires & the push-pull with Bill/Eric.

Bill Compton in the books (minus the “Billith” carp) is very much a deceitful, violent, and terrible character. While he did his part to try to repair his relationship with Sookie…she still saw him for what he was. We love Stephen Moyer…so we love Bill. As a character he has done more to hurt Sookie than anyone. He really isn’t redeemable, I agree with you. Sookie/Eric pairing was the focus for so long in the books…when she ended up with AHEM you know…it gave me whiplash. The show putting her with Bill would be about the same whiplash. The show has had a serious case of the wha-ha-huh for 3 seasons. I’ll watch but I will be glad to see the show end. It hasn’t achieved quite the same creative oomph it once did.

i like alcide, glad he is finally being included this year in things
don’t like bill, never have, he’s just so blah
i cant believe Luke would quit over his character’s sexuality but if it is true,i’m shocked.
however new james look pretty cool maybe re casting was the best thing all round

Ok I’m starting to get really worried that we have not seen Eric in any promos. I know they said he was coming back but how small a role? I just need Eric.
Also ugh Sookie/Bill. At this point i prefer her with anyone but him.

So I read most of the books. I’m confused. Sookie winds up with Eric and they remain a couple through the majority of the series of Boole I read so I’m not sure why they changed that! It really upsets me to not see them together.
